Eric gray is gonna have a heck of a career here as along as his head is on straight. Anybody denying that is clueless.

Based on what?

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Did he really say that? Butch childishly punished him by blueshirting him I guess.

Before he committed to Tennessee. He said that as a Vandy commit

 

[franklinpence]

Also just looked it up...

A&M has 19 commits already.
11 are from Texas (including Haynes King)
1 is from TN a 3 star DT named Dallas Walker

Chris Morris is from Arkansas, Antonio Johnson is from Illinois, Mushin Muhamad from NC... what I don't get is these kids are all 4 star grading over 93 but they chose to mention Tennessee as the "bad trend" despite them all having offers from Alabama. Isn't the bigger story why they didn't pick Bama?

Liked and unliked so I could like again multiple times.

you do realize that last year they tried to force the run game down our throats using the best running back they have ever had come through the University of Kentucky,who also was drafted pretty high. two years in a row now our strong point on Defense has been stopping the run versus Passing...last year they didint use the mobile QB like they did in previous games they were winning and in my opinion that was a failed gameplan by Stoops.the game last year in my opinion could have been won by Kentucky if stoops gameplan wasn’t strictly trying run the ball through the RB

So stoops couldn’t adjust against us, we already know. He puts in a wr at qb and barely beats Arkansas and we should be worried ? He’s less of a threat that the qb last year and they don’t have near the weapons on offense or defense.

Gave you a like for "roughions". Creative spelling makes me happy, especially when it makes me think of rough onions. Because I don't think I've ever given conscious thought to the roughness of onions.

See what ADHD does to a person? And I even took my meds this morning.

I was thinking more about bad feet. Rough bunions....horrible.

You’re trying to convince the wrong person. I’m glad we won amd I hope we win this year..I’ll make that clear..I’m just sayin talent wise last year Kentucky should have won,but they lost because of a horrible gameplan by stoops..I’m just sayin we don’t play well against a mobile QB’s in general especially WR converted to a QB

The sciences!

 

[scvolfan7]

He didn't do anything in the gam. He had that one completion down field to Keyton ( that the defender could have intercepted had he not dropped his coverage, Keyton even had to slow down for it) the rest were within 5 years or so.

He helped us win the game and that’s all that matters.

You’re also wrong about the pass. JG looks the safety off and then hits Ramel in stride. It was a good throw and saying otherwise is just unnecessary hate. JG was the better QB Saturday. If he plays like that the rest of the year I’m completely ok with him taking over. Maybe he needed to lose his job to lock back in

 

[SweetasSoda]

When was our last commitment?

I thought you were keeping up with that.

 

[Rishvol]

Lol scvol still carrying JG jock strap

He’s going to be very good. Based on his talent and work ethic.

Yes

 

[bluetick2]

I guess you want statistics to back up my opinion? I'm not a stats guy. I see with my eyes. These stats geeks are the same ones telling us that JG was going to the league next year.

He has elite quickness and make miss ability. Usually, the 1st defender doesn't even touch him. He just needs to bulk up in the offseason.

Lol

Good grief. Let me guess you are pissed he pushed 18 away as well

Bingo

 

[BruinVol]

Sounds like Springer is going to commit today. We're about to have the 4th best BB recruiting class in the country.

Who is the “sounds like” source??

JG did good saturday, but he ain't ever been "locked in"

Two scenarios, which would be a better boost to the program from a fans perspective?

1) TENNESSEE beats AL, but only wins two of the remaining games afterwards and misses out on a bowl, or

2) TENNESSEE loses to AL, but wins out and gets bowl eligible (the AL loss is an arse whipping in this scenario).

Which would be the biggest boost? Basically comes down to knocking off the number one team or going to a bowl game? Obviously could use other scenarios but just wanted to see from other's perspective on which of these would mean the most.

Thoughts?

Five wins and beat Bama. I’m in.

 

[Devo182]

Dude
dude they barely beat Arkansas with that, we will destroy Kentucky if that’s the game plan they trot out there. Stoops LOST to Pruitt with Kentucky’s best football team ever.

I think so too. Absolutely nothing to do with that. Two responses about how they played Arkansas...I didn't even say wow what a win or anything about their game vs Arkansas. I merely liked the decision.

Can't one just respect a gutsy decision from another team without it meaning anything else? People take simple statements and blow them into something that is peripheral and was never even said. "Trump wore a nice suit today...OH SO SUPPORT RUSSIA NOW?!?" This rhetorical style is so prevalent, one can't even seem to make a simple observation about something without a tangential and non-sequitur backlash.

 

[engineerVOL]

This is random. But help me remember. There was a commit we had that literally just signed with Alabama but didn’t enroll or something. Who was that? A DL... Jordan something... what happened there?

 

[GoBears]

SMH...the orange is "Neon"?

At least it is not freakin yellow..

What is the official Tennessee orange?




The Tennessee Volunteer colors we selected from the color at the center of a daisy and the white petals. (Growing plentiful on The Hill) So, a shade closer to yellow is accurate.

I think you’re getting way too personal here. It’s a message board for Tennessee and I wasn’t impressed with a rival coach squeezing out a desperation game plan against a realllly bad Arkansas team. My opinion just like yours.
